I thought about it, but I didn't want to risk them flexing and the paint cracking when I went to put them back on. Plus space was very tight in there.

 

I took all the tape off, the car looks great! I'll take some pictures tomorrow when it's light out. I'm off to bed now.

 

Nevermind the mess in the garage. Now on to the pics!

 

taped off the VIN stickers in the door jams:




and on the doors:

 

Beautiful! I can't wait to see it all put together

 

Wow good job on the paint someone knows what they are doing you guys wet the floor too keep the dust down Pro stuff!

 

yeah, I never took any pictures of the booth itself, but it was more or less completely sealed off from the garage. I had fans with filters on each side of the booth walls moving air through the booth, as well as a dehumidifier and a couple heaters in there as well.

 

That looks really nice, good job.

 

Ha! you built a cross draft booth! want to paint my car? lmao

 

what's wrong with that?

 

What's the 2x4 doing in the footwell?

 

Looks like it's holding the brake pedal down.

 

nothing! I think thats pretty cool you did it in a garage!

 

Yeah when we where wheeling the car around, the wheels would move a bit as we pushed it, so I did that to lock them. Didn't want it falling off the rollers!

 

You ever get it started? Bet you're itching to go for a drive heh.

 

Oh, and does the roll cage accommodate the soft top? I see its rather close to the windshield support, so I was wondering how it'll latch down.

 

it should, we'll see when I bolt it down though....heh.

 

Still no luck on starting, but I did get everything put back on the car. I'll post pics tonight

 

Sorry I moved to a new house this past week, and packed the camera in a "safe place", which I couldn't find until last night....sigh. Here's a couple pics of the more or less "finished" car. I still haven't been able to wet-sand yet either.

 

I also painted the lenses on my TSI's amber...
